Very interesting tidbits. I plan to disseminate this list to every female Dem I know just to see their expressions...
My wife worked in a regional grocery chain for some time. I would visit her at lunch sometimes, and the women there had the most vile language I had ever heard. I don’t remember it as being particularly offensive; at least to me, because that’s how men talked about women at the time. I just thought, “Hey, I guess it works both ways”, and got lots of laughs out of listening to those women.
That said, that was over twenty years ago, and things have changed since then. I’ve since had a co-worker I considered a very close friend get right in my face about a perfectly innocuous comment I made about her appearance. It was a compliment!
Then, I had our plant hygienist explode on me when I brought up a perfectly legitimate safety concern. And I do mean EXPLODE! I was shocked! She had already filed two groundless complaints against other men, and I thought I was next.
SO, I went to my union steward, explained the situation, and told him I wasn’t going to HR, I was going to Corporate Ethics. Union steward told me immediately they were behind me 100%. I made sure that word got back to the hygienist, let her sweat for a few days, then dropped the matter. One of the biggest regrets of my life.
I agonize daily how many other men that b***h had gotten into trouble.
Mikie is in trouble! He’s got the Epstein tattoo!
They probably have a hit piece ready to publish for every Republican who dares challenge Democrats.
[I don’t think that makes him an ordinary guy. I think that makes him a probably insecure and adolescent guy who needs equipment (like high heels) to get him off. Who has to make women into arm candy in order for them to work with him. This is indeed a cheap power play. Contrast him with the actor Keanu Reeves, who is admired and lusted after by many female fans, who has money, maybe not a billionaire but certainly a multimillionaire, and he actually does not serially date actress Barbie dolls but is now involved with a friend of longstanding who sometimes wears—oh Heavens!!—flats—and does not dye her gray hair.
Lots of people forgave Trump his adolescent side because he had a good platform and a connection with them, but what does Bloomberg have?]
Bloomberg has an excellent platform that would galvanize independents and moderates. He would be a sane, law-and-order Democrat who isn’t going to take down all the statues of Confederate generals, Jefferson and Columbus. He’d nationalize stop-and-frisk and (under his breath) target black males for illegal gun possession. In other words, the shtick in NYC that got him three mayoral terms in NYC despite the fact that New Yorkers were used to giving Democrats 2/3 of the vote. Is there a strong constituency nationwide for putting black felons in prison for gun possession? You betcha.
It’s much better to have one great woman ! No doubt !
[Most people vote for a president on economics, not on incarcerating criminals.]
This is why I hope he doesn’t run. He’s a sharp operator who has plenty of money, knows just how to deploy it to maximum effect and has three NYC mayoral terms to show for it. That’s a rare combo. Meg Whitman spent on her gubernatorial campaign the amount Bloomberg did on 2 mayoral terms (~$150m) and had nothing to show for it.
After having read the story and looked at the woman who filed the lawsuit alleging that he called her ugly, I have concluded she is a litigious harpy. He was obviously cracking a joke re her pregnancy. This is a photo of her:
Not homely by any stretch of the imagination.
I’d do her.
And I’m not even related to Laz.
The media tried to bury the story on rich white men using their power over women in the Epstein thing. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of those young women/ girls ended up dead. Until they get concerned about that, I’m not going to worry about some locker room talk.
> Steve, I am surprised that you resort to this Alpha Male definition for Bloomberg, and then have to diss this writer on being a female and a journalist.
Yes, I admit to briefly falling for a caricature of a journalist. Generalisms are made to yield exceptions. However I do think that generalisms are in reality the basis of effective communication. I’m reasonably certain that most readers are at least familiar with the concept of journalism majors being at the low end of the collegiate intelligence bell curve— an understatement imho. There are exceptions, and yet today’s notably attenuated standard of journalism probably constitutes its own affirmation that there is some truth to the generalism that i voiced. Are some journalism majors out there butt hurt? Oh well. Are there some journalism majors out there who know they are good? I hope they have sufficient inner confidence in their talent and contributions that they will not take too much undue offense.
Ehhh borderline (NSFW adjective redacted). Does she have hairy armpits and hang out sipping lattes at marin county cafes all day long? IMHO she writes as if she might. LOL.
Megan Garber appears to have a pretty face, slender body and no tits.
She’s a Atlantic staff writer so she’s probably making big bucks.
He’s a flaming hypocrite, THE biggest gun grabber in America, an obnoxious authoritarian and in general a wart on the ass of society, a malignant dwarf. The sooner he shuffles off his mortal coil, the better.
